I spend a lot of time online browsing everything from gossip sites to beauty blogs and online shopping sites. In recent time I've discovered a few gems that I return to time and time again for bargains or for advice and reviews on products. One of my recent finds is the online shopping site
Strawberrynet which is absolutely amazing for bargains on skin care products, make up and hair products from most major brands including Dermalogica, Bobbi Brown, Mac and the list goes on. I can not get enough of the site especially as it has free delivery to most cities world wide including to South Africa. Anyway I've ordered all my dermalogica stuff for at times 25% less than retail as well as my Sebastian shampoo for a quarter of the price. I love me a bargain. So guys I seriously urge you to check it out.
Another awesome site I shop at is
ASOS one of the largest online shopping sites for clothes, shoes and accessories. They're based in the UK and again deliver worldwide but for a minimal charge. What I love about this site is the amazing range of stuff they have which allows everyone the opportunity to keep up to date with trends and the amazing fashion on the high street at great prices. They constantly have stuff on sale and their OUTLET section is wonderful with its range of items from high street and designer labels. They also have their own designers working under the ASOS label creating similar items that you'd find in the latest magazines but at lower prices. All in all the site is worth a visit even just to suss out the trends in the UK and Europe for those of us living down South.
When I log on I have a routine as I'm sure most of you do as well. I generally check my mail and do other admin things like facebook and twitter but once that's over I hit my favourite sites. These include the fun
Kickette a site for female football lovers whom not only love the beautiful game but also appreciate the beautiful players, a bit of gossip and some WAG fashion highs and loads of loads. It's great for a laugh especially some of the comments that are posted by readers. Mind you the team behind the blog aren't to shabby either managing to be humorous, intelligent and ever so slightly bighting without being mean. I also do the usual trolling for gossip on
Perez Hilton and other such sites.
But recently I've discovered three amazing blogs that I check regularly. These include
The Indian Make Up Diva who is truly a diva when it comes to make up giving awesome tips and reviews as well as tutorials on all our favourite products. Personally I love it because we share a similar skin tone and I find her advice especially useful. I do have to say though that her advice is useful for all lovers of make up and beauty products. Another amazing find is the blog by a Londoner called
Bubblegarm which has great tips and reviews not only on beauty products but also clothes and accessories. I absolutely lover it and find myself checking for updates everyday. Finally by best and I guess most relaxing read online is one of the most famous blogs called
The Sartorialist. It has been voted as one of the most influential blogs of all time and deservedly so. I absolutely adore it. The sartorialist posts photos of people whom inspire him, whose look he appreciates, quirky people, beautiful people, young and old on the street in cities like Paris, Rome, New York and London. The site is dominated by photos with little commentary allowing them to speak for themselves and for the reader to appreciate and be inspired themselves. In my case I'm generally inspired to jump onto a plane or to shop for the gorgeous clothes adorning the women he captures.
These are just a few of the sites I love and I hope you see something in them too. Don't forget the shopping sites whatever you do because they're gems for the shopper I know you are.
